A stunning combined image of the Crab Nebula (M1), a supernova remnant, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in visible light and the James Webb Space Telescope in infrared light. The image shows the nebula's intricate filaments and expanding debris cloud, approximately 10 light-years across, resulting from a stellar explosion witnessed in 1054 AD. This vibrant cosmic object resides 6,500 light-years away in Taurus.
